"Being full Irish myself, I love this recipe. Have to lol about the people worried about the nutrition values. If you only decide to eat these on St Patrick's Day, why bother, enjoy. You should really be concerned about those 12 beers you are looking forward to having that day. I do agree that you can get by w/ less butter (1/3 cup) is plenty. If you think about it, you don't see many fat Irish folks."

"I made these for St Patty's dinner, and they are absolutely delicious! I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the 1/2 c butter called for in the recipe. I used half as much (4T) and it was still PLENTY to coat the potatoes. I will definitely make these again."

I made these for St. Patrick's Day for my daughter and her best friend (now another daughter) both of whom are in the Navy. Now when my "newest" daughter drives up for a visit, her most requested food are these "CRACK" potatoes...so called because of her addiction to them! Will be making them again for her soon!"
